Ten Years with WordPress!

Zumspot Revival (I was wrong!)
Ok so I wrote recently that the ZUMspot Pi boards were no longer available from Bruce and I made the mistake of concluding that meant they were no longer available. Tuns out I was wrong!

STEMTera Kickstarter
On September 28th the STEMTera bread board was launched on Kickstarter. This is an Arduino compatible micro controller inside a modified solder less bread board. This caught my attention because I mainly tinker with Arduino stuff whilst sitting on the couch! So there are times when I’d have multiple pieces of gear with a rat’s […]

LED Tea Light
With Xmas not far away I’d ordered some LED tea Lights for the wife to make some decorations to give away to the family. I was interested to find out what was driving the LED, but because all the candles were required I was not able to autopsy one to find out. This got me […]
